Scoop: NOAA's climate portal, climate.gov, will soon no longer publish new content after its staff were recently dismissed. Former staff fear that the website may become a mouthpiece for the administration's anti-science views. My latest for @theguardian.com: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

THIS IS A BIG DEAL. This is the most egregious and dangerous thing Kennedy has done yet to remove access to #vaccines.

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.

Unions don’t just fight for wages – we fight for justice. When ICE arrested David Huerta, they didn’t just attack one leader. They attacked the entire movement. This is solidarity. This is our moment. #FreeDavidHuerta #FreeThemAll
